Another example of how this globalization works is the Honda Goldwing. I lot of people don't realize that the Goldwing was a US designed and built bike for the global market between 1975 and 2010. Over 600,000 of them were built.
Then around 2008 or so Honda decided it needed to devote it's Marysville, OH plant to cars, built a stock of 2010 bike to carry them through the 2011 model year, shuttered the plant, moved all the equipment to Japan (Kikuchi if I remember correctly) and started building them there for the 2012 model year and forward. Same bikes (with a couple of cosmetic changes) same equipment but now a "Japanese import".
